Making decisions that both parties agree on is a difficult thing for many Massachusetts couples. Making these decisions about matters concerning children after a separation or divorce is often even harder.

Massachusetts music fans may recall that when rocker Jack White and model-singer Karen Elson decided to get divorced, they held a party together to celebrate, complete with fancy invitations and a swing band. Unfortunately, that spirit of cooperation did not last. At one point earlier this year, Elson asked for a restraining order against White. He denied her accusations that he had threatened her.

Obtaining child support can be a difficult task. Child support is created in order to ensure that the child has the financial support of both parents. Without this support, children may go without some of their basic needs. These payments are essential to the child's growth and development.
